Rated 5 stars based on 1 vote Article has been viewed 28,577 times.

Wow 3 blog posts in one day - just typical - you don't see one for ages then three come at once :)

Errm seriously...

I'm delighted to announce the latest version of the forthcoming InstantForum.NET 2010 update has been added to our demo area. Whilst still not perfect this update is a significant improvement over our earlier development preview and is much more feature complete & reliable.

As this is a development preview you will likely encounter bugs (we are aware of many) however we'll be working fanatically over the coming weeks to ensure the product is as robust as possible for the first public closed BETA expected mid November.

You can access the updated development preview at...

We did hope to have a BETA with customers in October however we've experienced a couple of delays. Thank you to all the customers who have offered to assist with the BETA we'll be contacting you the moment we have a download available. This should not effect things to much and we are expecting to have the beta ready around mid November. We will be doing our very best to bring you the 2010 update early-mid December. This may vary based on BETA feedback.

I didn't want to wait any longer (I'm excited) and have updated the development preview to show how things are progressing.

Some of the changes you'll notice in this update...

  • OpenID, Google, Yahoo & AOL login options
  • New recently online users panel with AJAX member card
  • You'll notice the latest polls can be displayed on the homepage & within forums
  • Updated user control panel pages with tab navigation & following / followers pages
  • Update profile pages showing latest posts, followers & users your following
  • WYSIWYG editor is nearly complete bar a few issues around inserting links & images
  • You should notice general reliability improvements
  • Pinned topics within forums are now displayed correctly
  • You should notice general performance improvements
Whilst we are pleased with how things are progressing we do still have issues to resolve and as such this development preview does not indicate the final quality. We'll be resolving all current known issues & any new issues over the coming weeks and once we are confident with the reliability we'll be offering a closed BETA.  

Thank you to Jason , Chris, Lenka, Robert, Steve, Vaibhav, Sean  & Mark (I'm sure you know who you are) we'll be keeping you updated via email on the status of the first BETA.

Please feel free to explore and try the latest development preview. We would ask you don't report any problems at this stage as it's very likely we are already aware of the problem and it will be resolved ASAP.

We would of course welcome any general comments or questions around this update. You can email me directly on ryan@instantasp.co.uk, use our contact form or simply post your comment below. We'll do our best to respond ASAP.

Hey Ryan,

I just took a look at your demo.  I am really digging the updated UI and functionality. Even though I have not launched a site with InstantForum X.X yet, I can't wait to launch my site with your new forum.  I did a lot of research on forums before deciding to purchase yours, and I really feel that with this new release InstantForum.Net 2010 is going to be the best forum available.  I really wanted a forum that looked and functioned professionally, your forums far exceeded any others that I looked at.

Waiting Excitedly,
Drew Engelmeyer

P.S. I did not see my name in the Beta testers list.  Care to add me?
